Verified record
Century Masonry, Restoration & Waterproofing offers masonry repair, basement waterproofing, and carpentry, run by a mason who goes by Steve — the company's own site describes it as a Medford, MA contractor, though its listed address is in Lynn. The written record is thin, just three Google reviews spanning 2022 to 2025, and it's mixed. On the positive side, a 2022 review credits Steve with a full garage restoration and waterproofing job done with 'no corner cutting,' and a 2025 review describes him personally walking the customer through every step of a job. Set against that, another 2025 review describes a masonry job on a Back Bay building where the crew removed a customer's newly installed mahogany balcony flooring — apparently misreading an instruction to clear objects off balconies — without reaching out to the homeowner first. Given the small review base and that one serious miscommunication, it's worth confirming in writing exactly what gets touched or removed on a multi-unit or condo job before work starts.
We had them do the masonry work on our building in the back bay. They apparently sent out a memo asking people to remove objects from their balconies to perform the work. They somehow then interpreted that to be removing the actual flooring of the balcony itself... Including the brand new mahogany balcony I just installed. Absolutely unbelievable.. and never once thinking they should reach out and perhaps talk to the homeowner. Never seen anything like it..
Loved the detail and finishing look on my house. After the company owner Steve personally talked with me and walked around my house with me to reassure every step through the process. This made feel tremendous better through the process because it put me in the loop with the whole plan. Would definitely recommend for any masonry work or waterproofing!
Steve is an honest man who delivers 110% on what he promises. He did a total restoration and waterproofed my garage. He went above and beyond. These days, it’s hard to find people fully committed to quality work with no corner cutting. However, you get just that with Century. Highly recommend.
